Description
In the "show headers" screen K-9 Mail currently only displays the downloaded header fields without an indication of whether or not that list is complete.
Change the code to download the complete header once the "show headers" screen is opened. While showing only the locally available header fields display either a loading message or an error message to communicate to the user that the list they're currently seeing is incomplete.
